I just realised as our forum takes shape that I no longer have the option to make a post an announcement let alone a global announcement. Even posts I try and edit don't give me the option. I tired editing an announcement made earlier and even that doens't have it. Could I have somehow disabled the option in our threads and posts?

Here's a screenshot of my trying to make a post in our News and Announcements section and one of the ACP...Sorry for the bad pictures. If you look you'll see OPTIONS has nothing beneath it and I have not renamed the stickies,announcements etc. I even tried to edit the one and only global announcement I made when I first setup the forum 12 days ago and there's NO OPTIONS to do so.

OK... I deleted the custom template in Viewtopic body. I assume the default template automatically took its place. I've attempted to post and there is still no option to denote as an announcement, sticky or global.

I have added a few codes in the templates:

1.) Display post last edited (Removed)2.) Added code for podcast.

Right, I have registered on your forum. I am now waiting for approval from you.

Thank you. I have just been on your forum and I've found the problem. You haven't got a button for the Options bar in the post editor.

The options for announcement and global announcement are still there, but the button to open up the options is not there. I'm not sure how to add the button, so you'll need to wait for someone else to help you or wait for me to find out.

Thank You base. What do you recommend I do from here? Is there another section I should post in or continue to watch this topic? I cant thank you enough for identifying the issue. I wish I could be of more help in finding the solution. We're new here and I can't beleive...no let me rephrase that I am SHOCKED at the level of support here. We have been with informe since 2005 and getting support takes weeks if your lucky enough to get passed the language barrier. Our forum crashed and they have done nothing to fix it. We've lost 1000s of members, posts and history. I think we'll stay right here from now on and rebuild where there's a team of folks who help eachother.

Okay, I have fixed the problem for you. There should now be an image on the Options bar that allows you to open and close it, therefore giving you access to the announcement options. I've just tried it and it works.
